Ebm,
Looks like you have an affinity for Bose. I did see that you mentioned Bose in another recent thread. Good for you and thanks for the recommendation. Why do you think Bose is best for me?
As a fyi, my first system actually comprised of a Bose AM-5 Series II, driven by a Sony Receiver and a Technics tape deck. Eventually changed the amp to a Yamaha integrated and Kenwood CDP.
But the more I got interested in acoustic music and vocals, that system fell short and I wanted something more. That was a nice journey and I am at the current stage.
Would like to know what your current system looks like and what interests you, in terms of music genre.
